| Channel | Status | Launched | Model | Details |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sports (online) | Live | Sep 2021 | Competitive | Statewide online/mobile wagering (no retail requirement); operators must already be licensed/active in 3+ other states; the Commission must issue at least 5 mobile licenses. Minimum age is confirmed 18 by the statute itself (W.S. §9-24-105), not 21 as the LSO's own interim-committee memo mistakenly states elsewhere. Permit fees: $100,000 initial/5-year, $50,000 renewal for operators; $10,000/$5,000 for vendors. "Sporting event" is statutorily defined (W.S. §9-24-101(a)(xi)) to include "electronic sports," so esports wagering is authorized under this same framework. Wyo. Stat. Title 9, ch. 24, art. 1 (Online Sports Wagering Act, as enacted by 2021 HB 133) [1],[2],[3] |
| Sports (retail) | Not authorized | HB 133 authorized online/mobile sports wagering only; it created no retail sportsbook/kiosk category. 2021 Wyo. Sess. Laws (HB 133) [1] |
